[b]Rules:[/b]

Reply to the post containing the type of party your tune best matches (in your opinion).

[b]Post a song only once. ...so choose the category wisely.[/b]

[b]There will be BOOs for duplicate posts in the same category/party section.[/b]
exception: Go right ahead and post the same song by a different artist if you like. Just attach it as a reply to the previous version.

You are also welcome to add a song that someone else has already posted to a different list.
Because there are lots of songs that suit multiple occasions.

But expect to get BOOd if you personally post the same tune more than once yourself anywhere in the thread.

Put the title and artist in the Title
and include a link to the song in the Subject (with comments if you like).

Here are a couple of places where you can find the tune to make a link:

"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was recorded only three days before Redding's death. According to Nashid Munyan, curator of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Redding considered the song unfinished, having whistled the tune of one verse for which he intended to compose lyrics later.[7] The song was released (with the place-holding whistling intact) in January 1968 and became Redding's only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, and the first posthumous single in U.S. chart history.

If you're going to post it, post the whole thing, not a mash-up.

But you did give me some great ideas. I'll post a few once I'm finished with my email...

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was the reaction of a [u]totally[/u] stoned freak the first time he heard this song. The piano has him nodding off, the vocal had him climbing the walls. I was pretty well lit myself; that might have made it funnier...

Nobody did psychedelic music better than these guys. Listening stoned is a completely different experience than listening straight...I think...I kinda 'member...sorta...damn I got the munchies! :D

a second time around through my son. He has met many talented and famous performers and loves his job, though the recording sessions can go on and on...
He has a much wider range of musical tastes than any 23 year-old I know of. Maybe it was that orange plastic guitar I bought him when he was 4.

by michael jay

does he play the guitar?

He could be in for a very nice career in the music industry, just as long as he keeps his head about him. Best of luck to him.

by bjennings59

He is self-taught on both.
When he was about 12 I did get him private guitar lessons with Bo Diddley's manager. (Bo lived just a few miles from us when we lived in Florida.) He would bring some of Bo's guitars sometimes to the lessons and I'd be like "Hell no, he's not touching that thing"! LOL... Some of those were worth thousands of dollars.
He is self-taught on reading music too. One year for Mother's Day I told him (he had no $$) that I'd love for him to play Free Bird for me on the guitar, saying it's the only gift I wanted. He went in the basement for about 1/2 hour and came up saying he was ready to play it for me -- and he did an unbelievable job! Still haven't figured out where he gets the talent from. It certainly isn't from me.
